The Neighbours star and the 1D singer were seen at the Big Bash League match between the Melbourne Stars and the Perth Scorchers. Niall’s known to be a big fan of the game, having been spotted at the same sporting event last year.

Niall is yet to congratulate his bandmate Louis Tomlinson on the birth of his new baby. Louis’ ex Briana Jungwirth gave birth to the pair’s baby boy Friday January 22 and the singer has since taken to Twitter to speak of his excitement.
